Heme Oxygenase-1 Prevents Hyperthyroidism Induced Hepatic Damage via an Antioxidant and Antiapoptotic Pathway

Abstract

Background The exact pathogenesis of hepatic dysfunction in hyperthyroidism is still unknown We aimed to investigate the pathogenesis of liver dysfunction caused by hyperthyroidism through inducing heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) expression, which has antioxidant and anti-apoptotic properties
